Bono said music can change the world because music can change people

[@2bteachable2]

1983, I'm in high school, cable television came to town, and there was this channel - MTV - that played music videoes. I had this silly thought in my mind that as an African-American, I could not watch rock music videoes (read white people music). Never mind that rock and roll is an African-American music form, I was brainwashed. I keep hearing people at school talking about music videos, so one day, I decided to watch one. It was U2 "New Years Day." Saying that my mind was blown is an understatement. Bono's voice! That emotive Irish soul voice! It changed my musical life forever. By the end of that week, I had someone record that album ("War") on the "A" side of a cassette tape. They put The Clash "Combat Rock" on the "B" side. Like I said, my musical life was never the same. Welcome to the U2 family.

When you said, "Who IS this guy?" I was like, that is Bono, probably the coolest guy on the planet.

[@tekay44]

more like the toolest guy. great singer though.

[@timomastosalo]

@@tekay44 God asks us to be vessels of his water. So, true Christians are tools in fact. But like a pot of earthenware: fragile, faulty with cracks in the side. But a thirsty one will get water to drink through such vessels. So I can't say he hasn't faults (cracks ib the side) - but he does tell true words too. And such good deeds never go unpunished in this world. At least they will draw ridicule and mockery to the person(s) who cares for others. I can't vouch for how authentic Christian he is, but he has done some things that go along with what he preaches. He talks the talk and walks the walk - at least sometimes. That's like walking on water: with God you can do it, but once you get scared that a man can't do that, you fail, are like anybody else. But God can lift you there again, to walk on water again. To really do good. Those who receive it, are the real judges of the authenticity. If he has been used by some religious and political leaders, well - that's a loss for us all. Except for those who receive something good through it, though those who helped them did it for the wrong reasons.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Ivan J. Conway They have many haters. They have never been forgiven for downloading their album to everyone free of charge and without permission. It didn’t bother me and it does not distract from their talent as far as I am concerned. It’s quite complex just google why are U2 hated, loads of articles will come up

[@ivanj.conway9919]

@@personalcheeses8073 : Well, I can't see their fans or the general public hating them for something like that. I only, assume they feel as if they've made enough money now, so why not share their talent freely. This is part of the reason I feel you should go into business for yourself, if you can, when you get into this type of work, if one wants to call it that, so you can have total, say and control over what you, yourself, produce. Agents, promoters, mangers and so forth, can be real, leaches sometimes, in how they can really, ruin the creativity and enjoyment of an artist career. When the business of the art so overshadows the art itself, that the art suffers because of it, it's time for the business aspect to go, I would think. A good chunk of the reason that the music "business" has hit rock bottom today, is because of visionless, asshole, prick, business people, who zap all the vision and creativity from the artist. Thus, forcing them to pump out the same old, dry, dead, tasteless, drone, crap that's been shoved down our throats for some 25 plus, years now, because they, themselves, THINK, it's going to sell. They don't give one sweet, you know what, for the art, itself, but how much damn, money they can make off of it. Personally, I think Simon Cowel for example, is a prime example of this. Him and his sort are utterly and completely, ruining the music industry today. And I use the word "industry" very, very, loosely, here. Would you not agree? U2 should fire the whole, damn, lot and do what they want. Surely, at this stage, they don't need any of them. My Retro/Vintage/Old School Best. Out.

Music touches the soul and builds bridges between countries, cultures, and generations. I honestly don't know if I would be alive today if it were not for songs from bands that inspire me and help me understand that we're really not alone, even if it sometimes feels like we are. I hope you and everyone else continue to explore and be inspired by music from artists who have real heart and bring tears of hope and joy to so many of us.

[@arladicey]

That guy is Bono, aka Paul Hewson, electrifying, magnetic, passionate lead singer of U2. The four bandmembers met and formed the group as teens in Ireland in the 70s. They are extraordinary. U2 is another band I have seen in concert four times, along with REM; and like that group, U2 is one of my all-time favorite bands. I strongly encourage you to listen to the live version of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" live at Red Rocks ampitheatre in Colorado, and "Pride In The Name Of Love", which is their passionate tribute to Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Both beyond amazing.

I love your appreciation for music. I love all the styles from classical, Hip Hop, Techno, Funk, Reggae/Dub. But I love U2. One song I think you would love that is kind of underrated. I never hear people bring it up is One Tree Hill by U2. It's a song written for one of U2's friends and roadie for the band that tragically died in a motorcycle accident in Dublin, Ireland. He was a Kiwi. When U2 were in New Zealand he brought them to One Tree Hill which is a volcanic mountain that against all odds had a tree growing on it. Fitting for a tribute. It's an incredibly upbeat song, with very sad and beautiful lyrics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHizgql3ac6kgqM

[@MLeibs]

In England, at Live Aid, Queen was the 2nd band after U2 performed. Bono, the lead singer, used about 5 minutes of their 18 minute time slot to save a woman who he saw getting seriously smushed in the front of the crowd. He leapt off the stage and helped pull her loose! He is a true humanitarian, all his life... working to help the poorer countries in Africa and all sorts of good deeds and projects. Just an incredible soul and a talented musician, along with the band. They are Irish, from Dublin I believe. I recommend “Bad,” and “l Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” for starters. There’s a rabbit hole, of course, and it will be another wonderful, soulful journey for you, James! P.S. We love you here in Chicagoland! ✌🏽

I know. I am so lucky to have been there. I remember when California Dreamin' was in everyone's heads all the time once they'd heard it. What a picture is painted on a snowy Winter's Day that Dead of Winter in 1966? In New Hampshire at a ski lodge for 18 days with my fellow 8th and 9th graders from that incredible school from my past. I was running a temperature so I was confined to bed in the room for sick people down the hall. I would hear everyone two floors down clunk out in ski boots and parkas to learn to ski on the ski hill right outside. There was a 1 3/4 inch Dacron rope driven by the engine from an old pickup that drove in but never drove out. You would side-step your way next to the rope which was dragging along the ground. You pick it up letting it slide through your special rope tow mittens with the leather palms. You positioned your skies in the tracks of all the other skiers before you, take hold of the rope loosely in front and behind your back. You would slowly tighten your grip, start to get pulled along, then lean back a bit to allow a little springiness then grab tight, and up the hill you went. At the top, the rope would go up and over a pulley and head back down to the engine room. But I was in the room for sick people hearing California Dreamin' on the GE 7-transistor radio, every 45 minutes or so, trying to remember the silence of the rope tow, gliding uphill with no effort, it was so quiet among the pine trees, you could hear it snow.

I am loving all these reaction videos. None of you guys pre-judge the artist. You just know a great song when you hear it. And yes music can bring me to tears....👍🏻

Those chills, the goosebumps, that overwhelming feeling is catharsis that great art causes, it's a new emotional truth you experience, and it releases the pent up tension and stress and creates a new emotional state!
